a place to discuss protocols and protocol design
Theorem: Data availability and verifiability ensure the ability to fork networks (including existing web2 ones)
One of the attributes of onchain protocols is the guarantee of permissionless access to a network. Is there a way to guarantee that without smart contracts?
Does git guarantee a similar quality and interoperability?

🤡 Daily reminder: platforms will continue to treat third party developers like shit until we replace them with credibly neutral protocols
The web is missing native distribution, discovery, payments, and identity. We’ve hacked it together

Writing the Powerlaw memo for this week I remembered an oddly interesting moment realizing how wrong certain chicken-egg problem statements are framed.
People struggle with the notion of system inputs and system outputs, because those elements are likely multiple things, depending on a very specific context.
So I thought some of the protocol priests appreciate this little excerpt.

Have you guys looked at Finternet ? I can do a large post if interested.
Finternet is similar to blockchain but takes regulators and governments in consideration to build digital, open, peer to peer protocol.

These protocols invading towns and disintermediating markets?

I personally have never had much interest specifically in DeFi but it’s been insightful to get a little more familiar with Stellar and the value these types of protocols bring to the world.

I want to write a paper titled: "Hashcash is all you need (to protect attention)"
Putting this prediction on the record: any decentralized, permissionless, open protocol that doesn't have some form of cryptoeconomic spam protection will devolve into SMTP fiefdom where only a few players end up as the defacto gatekeepers.

Autodesk and the like are all over the physical design ecosystem with antiquated tech migrating to the cloud
For the new players to win, they can’t continue being adversarial especially with the AI bets
Onchain mechanics can assist in aligning devs, users, and corps. 3D printing is a light entry way into upstream CAD as Physna has proven with Thangs. Playing with positioning @objects there first

The main feature of Chainlink that keeps it going is outsourcing risk.
They charge insane fees (value extractive). The question is why wouldn’t big DeFi protocols internalize that functionality to capture more value?
It’s because of the risks in sourcing off chain data. Easier to let a specialized “protocol”

Love this thread from @corpetty
It's much easier to say "we'll decentralize later" rather than bite the bullet and decentralize now.
Farcaster, Status, IPFS, Swarm among others are still quietly building on that original p2p Bittorrent vision.

Protocol doesn't get protocol benefits until protocol hardens

SMS is obviously before WhatsApp. Wordpress before X/FC makes sense but could be better.
